Medical imaging has become a powerful non-invasive diagnostic tool for the
modern medicine. It has an interdisciplinary achievement of many physicist,
chemists, engineers and medical doctors, especially in the last twenty-five
years. In this introductory, three-unit course, we are going to discuss the
underlined physics, imaging techniques, imaging system and their applications
for systems used in diagnostic radiology. For medical imaging that is not used
in radiology, we are not able to cover it at this point due to the limited
time we have in one semester.

Although this is an engineer-oriented course, physicists, chemists as well as
medical doctors are much welcomed to audit for any specific field you are
especially interested in. Lectures are based on a three-hour module each week
(appendix I). Students will have some computer homework assignments, one
midterm exam and a final project report (see appendix II) at the end of the
semester.
